The Ford+Alexa app takes the intuitive capabilities of Amazon’s Alexa and brings them into Ford vehicles. The Alexa app brings voice navigation, traffic information and more than 50,000 of Amazon Alexa’s impressive skills within arm’s reach. Alexa’s connection to Amazon Prime makes shopping just a voice command away.
